After Gongsun Du's hometown was attacked by foreign tribes, Gongsun Du did send some troops back to defend his hometown, but most of the troops were still galloping around the land of Youzhou.
At that time, Gongsun Du was obviously a little uneasy, and even planned to retreat with all his troops. However, you must know that retreating is far more difficult than advancing. Once everyone retreated, and the Yuan family released the news that Liaodong was besieged, he might not have withdrawn.
The whole army collapsed.
At that time, Gongsun Du's plan was to retreat in batches. The first time he would withdraw 8,000 people, and he would lead his troops to block it here to defend against a possible large-scale attack by the Yuan family. The second time, he would withdraw some more, and the province would be destroyed.
Yuan Jia pressed behind him and forced out the place where he finally swallowed.
And just as Gongsun Du expected, not long after his hometown was attacked, the Yuan family launched a large-scale attack after he withdrew 8,000 people. However, judging from the opponent's war level, they were just civilians.
Although the scale is large, and the morale of the Liaodong Army is not very high due to rumors, the Liaodong Army relied on the absolute gap in hard power to repel the Yuan family's large-scale counterattack, and also pushed the battle line forward.
After a long festival, we got a lot of food and grass supplies.
Gongsun Du was surprised and even more surprised by such an intense counterattack. Thinking back to the places where he had captured Changli and Yangle, he discovered a "fact". It seemed that Yuan Tan's army in Youzhou had civilian-level combat effectiveness!
Thinking again about the intelligence handed over by Liu Bei's army, the real elites of Yuan Tan's army were defending Liu Bei in the south of Youzhou. The entire Youzhou was extremely empty. Gongsun Du suddenly realized that he might have been living under Yuan Shao's pressure.
The Yuan family was a little too optimistic, and now Yuan Shao is dead!
After Gongsun Du had this idea, he naturally tried it. Facts are better than anything. It seems that the Yuan family in Youzhou really only has a little face left, and the rest may be a joke!
With this idea in mind, Gongsun Du once again started the conquest. Although there was no major battle since then, small groups of enemies appeared from time to time, which boosted the morale of Gongsun Du's army again. Nothing is better than winning consecutive battles.
It boosts morale!
This extremely high morale and contempt for Yuan Shaojun eventually led them to death. Their supplies relied on plundering Yuan Shaojun, and Yuan Shaojun appeared from time to time, allowing Gongsun Du to easily steal the food every time.
Not a lot, but enough for Gongsundu to maintain victory.
Relying on this method, Gongsun Du quickly advanced to Youbeiping. The morale of the entire army was at an all-time high, and at this time, excellent news came from the rear. The Liaodong defenders defeated the foreign coalition forces.
It can be said that the morale of the Liaodong army has exploded at this time, and its super morale is enough to face Yuan Shao's elite army without falling behind.
However, Gongsun Du's army was somewhat short of food at this time. After all, after the siege of Liaodong, Gongsun Du mainly relied on plundering Yuan Shao's army to survive. Recently, he was a bit unlucky because the snow was heavy and he did not encounter Yuan Shao's army. Gongsun Du's
Food and grass are already running low.
However, Gongsun Du was not worried. After all, You Beiping was not far ahead of him. With Yuan Tan's army and civilians having almost no combat effectiveness, Gongsun Du was not worried about running out of food and grass.
On this day, Gongsun Du's scouts encountered Yuan Shaojun's grain transport team, and defeated it as usual. Although part of it was burned down as usual, the difference was that this time Yuan Shaojun's transport team was destroyed.
After the grain team was robbed, the black smoke from burning grain attracted Yuan Shaojun.
Needless to say, Gongsun Du's army easily overthrew Yuan Shao's army, but the problem was that when Yuan Shao's army was overturned by Gongsun Du's car, when they fled, they added fire to the food and grass that had been burned for the most part and was finally extinguished.
Naturally, Gongsun Du was furious and chased the defeated soldiers for more than ten miles, and then nothing happened. Gongsun Du's army, who always thought that Yuan Shaojun was his grandson and he was his grandfather, did not pay attention to the formation when chasing them.
The fact has made them understand that they can kill ten with one...
The result is self-evident. Gongsundu's army, which had no formation, encountered Yuan Shaojun's elite soldiers, and was defeated without even a splash.
The high-ranking cadres who were originally ambushing in the rear gave Gongsun Du's army another ruthless blow when it was fleeing. They completely defeated Gongsun Du's army, which was already fleeing. The entire army fled in all directions.
This place is different from the original junction of Jizhou and Yanzhou. If you escape from this place without supplies, you will freeze to death. After Gongsun Du escaped that day, his troops were down to ten, and he lost a lot of supplies. He was completely confused.
Later, when he got the news that Liaodong was captured by Goguryeo and Three Hans, he was so angry that he almost lost his breath. Although he was saved, Gongsundu's power in Liaodong could be regarded as dead.
"This method?" Guan Yu frowned. This seemingly simple strategy is the most deceptive. There is no room for cracking it. As a general, even if you discover it, your soldiers will despise the opponent, not to mention even the general.
After winning dozens of games, directly winning from Liaodong to Yuyang, and not losing a single game through hundreds of miles, everyone will think that the opponent is a weakling.
"It should be a method of trial and error. He is best at creating key points to attack key points, and he is ruthless. He probably had the idea of deterring disloyalty from all directions early on. I am afraid that only single digits of the more than 50,000 people will survive. In the fishing industry,
The situation north of Yang with no supplies in the ice and snow..." Li You didn't finish his words, but everyone present understood the meaning.
"No matter how badly Gongsun Shengji was defeated, he tried to find a way to rescue people. After all, he did quite well in Liaodong." Liu Bei had no hope at this time. All fools know that there is no point in supplying supplies if they are scattered on the snowy field.
What are you wearing?
"Let's cross the sea and go to Liaodong. As for the reputation, how about rescuing Liaodong? After all, Liaodong is now under attack from foreign countries such as Sanhan, Fuyu, Goguryeo, Xunbi, and even Karasuma." Chen Xi thought for a while and said,
This era pays attention to what is right and what is right.
"If this is the case, we have to pass through Youzhou. How can Yuan Tan allow it?" Wu Dun asked in confusion.
"You are mistaken. You have lived in the south for a long time, and you have overlooked that the sea in the north in winter is full of roads." Liu Ye shook his head and said, then hesitated, "If you want to go to the sea, you don't need to go to Youzhou, but our winter clothes are still there.
The quantity of felt tents is guaranteed, but the quality cannot be determined.”
As he spoke, Liu Ye glanced at the cotton-padded coat on Lu Su's body. To be honest, this thing was prepared for the northern ice field operations, but the problem is that the large-scale planting of cookies has not entered the process until now. It is estimated that it will not be considered large-scale until next year.
